FYI The concept of Ein Sof
implies that no human can ever fully understand God's completeness:
however what we can understand our obligations ,and what acts as our
guide are God's words (the Torah). By obeying God's commandments we
can come closer and closer to the world of shalom (completeness and
peace) that can exist for all humankind. Each faith has a part to
play in this striving to mend the world. Each commandment fulfilled
makes this a better world. Unfortunately, for example, what is
happening in New Orleans, proves we have a long way to go. Where
people could be helping one another, they are expending their energy
in harming one another. Relief efforts are being hampered,
government is not giving what it should, but basically what a Jewish
sage once said is not being Realized( In a place where no one is being
human, you must strive to be humane.
